when I was like 15, a drunk woman I didn’t know at a party who was smoking a cigarette on the porch started randomly opening up to me about her infertility journey and I told her how I was my parents rainbow baby after multiple miscarriages and fertility treatments said not to lose hope. she comforted me about being a strange kid without many friends my age (hence why I was at a party full of adults thrown by my uncle) and told me everything would work out eventually. the next time I saw her like 2 years later (small town, mutual friends) she was carrying her newborn. I think about that a lot. it’s easy to feel disconnected from people and but sometimes just talking to them and hearing their point of view and relating makes you feel less alone. even if you’re only each other’s company for a few moments.

i just feel like “what if the trauma we go through is usually not noble but purposeless and terrible and the things we develop to keep us alive often change us for the worse” is one of the most important realizations you can come to in terms of like. empathizing with your fellow man and yet whenever that theme shows up in fiction so many people are immediately like its either PERFECT VICTIM OR IRREDEEMABLY EVIL. open the door and walk out of the dichotomy

nothing makes me more insane than the phrase "selling your body" btw. like was i not also selling my body at every other job i've had where i had to be on my feet all day, lifting boxes, working in a warehouse, etc. why is it that sex work is uniquely labeled as "selling your body" while every other job is sorted into another category, no matter how much that job might have a physical impact on your body. lmao.

I know they will, which is why I’m willing to die to get them up there.

i believe this is my fifth time reading through the murderbot diaries series, and the second System Collapse reread, and this part right here, i didn’t paid much attention in my first read but this time around… screaming crying throwing up

TW: SH!

These drawings are from chapters 8 and 13 of A Human Condition by @sapphosscribe on AO3, an amazing BillFord/Human BillCipher fic that I discovered a few weeks ago. It explores the characters' psychology and Bill's redemption, which pretty much comes down to: one step forward, three steps back.

Though I have to say, my human Bill design strays a bit from the fic's description, but you get the idea.

Anyway, I highly recommend this fic!!

Do you guys think Komugi got that moment of grace during which she realizes the best friend she’s ever had’s reason to live is to spend his time doing thé thing she loves the most in the world with her
